Purpose: This satellite session is designed to provide early and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) with an interest in sedentary behaviour with one-on-one mentoring from a senior researcher with aligned expertise.
Learning Objectives: The aims of the proposed workshop are to support EMCRs in their career planning and in creating international networks that will results in career development opportunities.
Learning objective 1: EMCRs will develop an ongoing professional relationship with their mentor, resulting in continued mentoring, sponsorship and/or research opportunities.
Learning objective 2: EMCRs will acquire insights and advice in relation to research leadership.
Learning objective 3: EMCRs will receive detailed feedback from their mentor on their submitted piece of work (paper, grant application, job or promotion application), which they will revise and improve substantially, over the ongoing mentorship period.
Target audience: EMCRs with an interest in sedentary behaviour research. We will limit the workshop to 10 EMCRs paired with 10 senior scholars; a balance of genders and participants from high and low-middle income countries will be sought.
Organisation and method of presentation: The application process, pre-workshop work and workshop agenda are outlined as separate steps,
below.
Application: EMCR members of the Sedentary Behaviour Council will be invited to submit an application for the ISPAH Congress workshop. The application will comprise a section on their research experience to date (brief CV); a paragraph or two on their career aspirations; a paragraph or two on the paper, grant application, job or promotion application that they would like a mentor to review and provide guidance on.
One month prior to the workshop: EMCRs will be matched to a senior researcher and both parties will be notified of their match. The EMCRs will send a working version of their paper, grant application, job or promotion application to their mentor for review prior to the workshop.
Workshop: 0 – 15 mins: Welcome from co-Chairs; brief presentation on the value of mentoring and building strong international networks. 16 – 30 mins: Set exercise for mentors and mentees to work through together (icebreaker type activity). 31 – 75 mins: Mentors to provide feedback on paper, grant application, job or promotion application; discuss ways to improve; discuss future directions. These conversations will be largely self-guided, but will provide a list of prompts to mentors and mentees to assist in case the conversation does not flow. 76 – 90 mins: Both mentors and mentees are to complete a follow-up and action form, which will ask them to commit to at least one follow-up mentoring activity (this may be via email). The form will be submitted to the Sedentary Behaviour Council. The Council will send follow-up surveys to participants at 3-, 6- and 12-months post-workshop to track the outcomes from the event.
